Which shows the expressions rewritten with the least common denominator? 5x+3/3x and 7x/2x^2

Answer is B

Following the equation

[tex]V(t) = V_0(1-r)^t[/tex]

We start with an initial price of

[tex]V(0)=V_0[/tex]

and we're looking for a number of years t such that

[tex]V(t)=\dfrac{V_0}{2}[/tex]

If we substitute V(t) with its equation, recalling that

[tex]r = 0.075 \implies 1-r = 0.925[/tex]

we have

[tex]V_0\cdot (0.925)^t=\dfrac{V_0}{2} \iff 0.925^t = \dfrac{1}{2} \iff t = \log_{0.925}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\approx 8.89[/tex]

So, you have to wait about 9 years.

Final answer:

The expression to determine the number of years it takes for the car to reach a value that is 50% of its purchase price is t = ln(0.5) / ln(1 - 0.075), using the given formula V = Vo(1 - r)^t.

Explanation:

To determine the number of years t after purchase for the car to reach a value that is 50% of its purchase price, we can use the model V = Vo(1 - r)^t where V is the car's value after t years, Vo is the original purchase price, r is the constant annual rate of decrease, and t is the number of years.

V is set to be 50% of Vo, which can be written as V = 0.5Vo, and we know the constant annual rate of decrease r is 0.075. Plugging these values into the formula gives us:

0.5Vo = Vo(1 - 0.075)^t

Dividing both sides by Vo and taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we obtain:

ln(0.5) = ln((1 - 0.075)^t)

Using the properties of logarithms, we can rewrite this as:

ln(0.5) = t * ln(1 - 0.075)

Solving for t yields:

t = ln(0.5) / ln(1 - 0.075)

This expression can be used to find the number of years it takes for the car to be worth half of its purchase price.

Answer:

y = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 8 when x = 3

k = yx = 8 × 3 = 24

y = [tex]\frac{24}{x}[/tex] ← equation of variation

When x = 10, then

y = [tex]\frac{24}{10}[/tex] = 2.4

The variation is an illustration of inverse variation, and the value of y when x = 10 is 2.4

The variation is an inverse variation.

An inverse variation is represented as:

k = xy

Rewrite as:

x₁y₁ = x₂y₂

When y = 8, x = 3; we have:

3 * 8 = x₂y₂

This gives

24 = x₂y₂

When x = 10; we have:

24 = 10 * y

Divide both sides by 10

y = 2.4

Hence, the value of y when x = 10 is 2.4

Answer:

B) 1452π units³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Volume of a cylinder, use this formula:

V (cylinder) = πr²h

Note that:

r = radius of the circle (base) = 11

h = height of the cylinder = 12

π = 3.14

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables.

V = (3.14)(11)²(12)

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, solve for the power, then solve left -> right.

V = (3.14)(121)(12)

V = (379.94)(12)

V = 4559.28 units³

sqrt(x+3) = x-3

Square each side

(sqrt(x+3))^2 = (x-3)^2

x+3 = (x-3)^2

x+3 = (x-3)(x-3)

FOIL

x+3 = x^2 -3x-3x+9

Combine like terms

x+3 = x^2 -6x+9

Subtract x from each side

x-x+3 = x^2 -6x-x +9

Step-by-step explanation:

The frames are proportional, so we can set the ratios equal:

width / height = width / height

3 / h = 9 / 15

9h = 45

h = 5

Given the proportionality between two pictures one with width 3 inches and another with dimensions 9 inches by 15 inches, we can set up a ratio and solve for the unknown length, yielding the length of the picture frame as 5 inches.

The question is asking to find the length of a picture frame, given that its width is 3 inches and that it has the same proportions as a picture that is 9 inches wide and 15 inches long. The proportions can be used to set up a ratio, as follows:

To solve for x, cross-multiply: 3 inches * 15 inches = 9 inches * x.

Then, divide by 9 to solve for x: 45 inches/9 = 5 inches.

So, the length of the picture frame whose width is 3 inches would be 5 inches, if it shares the same proportions as the 9 inch wide by 15 inch long picture.

Let y - x = height of sign

tan 31 = x/24

tan 31 • 24 = x

14.4206548567 = x

tan 42 = y/24

tan 42 • 24 = y

21.6096970631 = y

Now subtract x from y.

y - x = 21.6096970631 14.4206548567

y - x = 7.1890422064

Rounding off to the nearest tenth of a foot, we get 7.2 feet.

The sign for the roof is 7.2 feet.

The height of the sign is approximately 7.2 feet, calculated from the differences in elevation angles and distance.

To determine the height of the sign, we'll start by calculating the height of the roof and the height of the top of the sign from point P.

First, let's define the variables:

[tex]- \( h_1 \):[/tex]  height of the roof

[tex]- \( h_2 \)[/tex]: height of the top of the sign

[tex]- \( h_s \):[/tex] height of the sign itself

From point P, the angle of elevation to the roof is [tex]\( 31^\circ \)[/tex] and the angle of elevation to the top of the sign is [tex]\( 42^\circ \).[/tex]  The horizontal distance from point P to the base of the building is 24 feet.

Using the tangent of the angles of elevation, we have the following relationships:

[tex]\[\tan 31^\circ = \frac{h_1}{24}\]\[\tan 42^\circ = \frac{h_2}{24}\][/tex]

First, let's calculate [tex]\( h_1 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[h_1 = 24 \times \tan 31^\circ\]Using a calculator to find \( \tan 31^\circ \):\[\tan 31^\circ \approx 0.6009\]\[h_1 = 24 \times 0.6009 \approx 14.422\][/tex]

Next, let's calculate  [tex]\( h_2 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[h_2 = 24 \times \tan 42^\circ\][/tex]

Using a calculator to find [tex]\( \tan 42^\circ \):[/tex]

[tex]\[\tan 42^\circ \approx 0.9004\]\[h_2 = 24 \times 0.9004 \approx 21.610\][/tex]

The height of the sign [tex]\( h_s \)[/tex] is the difference between  [tex]\( h_2 \) a[/tex]nd [tex]\( h_1 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[h_s = h_2 - h_1\]\[h_s = 21.610 - 14.422 \approx 7.188\][/tex]

To the nearest tenth of a foot, the height of the sign is:

[tex]\[h_s \approx 7.2 \text{ feet}\][/tex]

Thus, the height of the sign is ( 7.2 ) feet.

Answer:

B. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the limit we can take the numerator  to be √(9x^4) = 3x^2

The function is of the form ∞/ ∞ as x approaches ∞ so we can apply l'hopitals rule:

Differentiating top and bottom we have   6x / 2x - 3. Differentiating again we get 6 / 2 = 3.

Our limit as x  approaches infinity  is 3.

The limit of [tex]\(\sqrt{9x^4 + 1}/(x^2 - 3x + 5)\)[/tex] as x approaches infinity is 3, after comparing the highest powers of x in both the numerator and the denominator and simplifying.

To find the limit of the given function [tex]\(\displaystyle\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{9x^4+1}}{x^2 -3x + 5}\)[/tex] as x approaches infinity, we can use the property of limits involving infinity. We need to compare the highest powers of x in both the numerator and the denominator. The highest power of x in the numerator under the square root is x⁴, and outside the square root, it will be x². In the denominator, the highest power is x². If we divide the numerator and the denominator by x², we get:

[tex]\[ \frac{\sqrt{9x^4+1}}{x^2 -3x + 5} = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{9x^4}{x^4}+\frac{1}{x^4}}}{\frac{x^2}{x^2} -\frac{3x}{x^2} + \frac{5}{x^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{9+\frac{1}{x^4}}}{1 -\frac{3}{x} + \frac{5}{x^2}} \][/tex]

As x approaches infinity, the terms [tex]\(\frac{1}{x^4}\), \(\frac{3}{x}\), and \(\frac{5}{x^2}\)[/tex] approach zero, and we are left with:

[tex]\[ \frac{\sqrt{9}}{1} = 3 \][/tex]

Therefore, the limit of the given function as x approaches infinity is 3, which corresponds to option (B).

The answer is:

Andre exchanged 450 dollars for pesos.

To solve the problem, we need to write two principal equations in order to establish a relation between the number of dollars before and after the trip.

So,

Before the trip, we have:

[tex]Dollars_{beforetrip}*rate=9000pesos\\\\Dollars_{beforetrip}*\frac{20pesos}{1dollar} =9000pesos\\\\Dollars_{beforetrip}=9000pesos\frac{1dollar}{20pesos}=450dollars[/tex]

We have that he exchanged 450 dollars for pesos.

Also, we can calculate how many pesos he had before he exchanged it back to dollars, so:

After the trip, we have:

[tex]Pesos{AfterTrip}*rate=\frac{1}{10}Dollars_{BeforeTrip}\\\\Pesos{AfterTrip}*\frac{1dollar}{20pesos}= \frac{1}{10}Dollars_{BeforeTrip}\\\\Pesos{AfterTrip}= \frac{1}{10}Dollars_{BeforeTrip}*\frac{20pesos}{1dollar}\\\\Pesos{AfterTrip}= \frac{1}{10}*450dollars*\frac{20pesos}{1dollar}=900pesos\\[/tex]

We have that he had 900 pesos before he exchanged it back to dollars.

Hence, we know that:

Andre exchanged 450 dollars for pesos.

Have a nice day!

Andre exchanged $500 for pesos at the beginning of his trip.

Let's denote the number of dollars Andre exchanged for pesos at the beginning of his trip as ( D ). According to the exchange rate, he would receive ( 20D ) pesos for ( D ) dollars.

 Andre then spends 9000 pesos while in Mexico. After spending, he has 20D - 9000 pesos left.

Upon returning, Andre exchanges the remaining pesos back to dollars at the same rate of 20 pesos per dollar. The number of dollars he gets back is [tex]\( \frac{20D - 9000}{20} \)[/tex].

 According to the problem, the amount of dollars he gets back is [tex]\( \frac{1}{10} \)[/tex] of the amount he started with, which is [tex]\( \frac{D}{10} \)[/tex].

We can now set up the equation:

[tex]\[ \frac{20D - 9000}{20} = \frac{D}{10} \][/tex]

To solve for ( D ), we multiply both sides of the equation by 20 to get rid of the denominator:

[tex]\[ 20D - 9000 = 2D \][/tex]

Subtract ( 2D ) from both sides to isolate the term with ( D ) on one side:

[tex]\[ 18D - 9000 = 0 \][/tex]

Add 9000 to both sides to solve for ( D ):

[tex]\[ 18D = 9000 \][/tex]

Divide both sides by 18 to find the value of ( D ):

[tex]\[ D = \frac{9000}{18} \] \[ D = 500 \][/tex]

Therefore, Andre exchanged $500 for pesos at the beginning of his trip.

Consistent dependent means that the 2 lines, when solved for y, are the exact same line (same slope, same y-intercept)

In our system, one of the equations is already solved for y, so let's solve the other one for y:

[tex]x-2y=1[/tex] so

[tex]-2y=-x+1[/tex] and

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The slopes of the 2 lines are the same; therefore, they are parallel and will never intersect.  Inconsistent system.

Answer:

inconsistent

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 5 cm and 12 cm is 13 cm.

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs.

In this case, we have a right triangle with legs of 5 cm and 12 cm. To find the length of the hypotenuse, we can use the formula c = √(a² + b²).

Substituting the given values, we get c = √(5² + 12²) = √(25 + 144) = √169 = 13 cm.
